After having a jolly time writing this entry, I came to realize it turned into something regarding motivation, which wasn't even necessarily my intent. "Motivation" in the title was born, and so it grew!
I must say:
I'm quite impressed with myself to an extent. The past couple of years, I have
put off Christmas shopping until Christmas Eve, or close enough that I'm rather
fretful. However, this year I began around a month ago when I randomly picked something up for my mom while shopping for myself.
"Why not?", I thought.
"You see something she might like, start getting things now!", I stated quietly to myself.
This gave me further prompting, so that night when my family & I were at the dinner table, I made them all express what they would like this year.
I was happy seeing the one bagged item in my room just waiting to be put in a pretty box, and the contentment of knowing the Lists were done, pleased me. I finally got fully prepared, and went out the other day completing about 90% of all my gift shopping!
If only this driving force of stimuli was with me every day:
What do you think? Motivational or not?:
P.S. Anybody with good motivation on
packing, HELP MEH!
